How often do you clean your canister?

[krytan]

Just curious how often you clean your canister filters.

I try to do it on a monthly, but if the flow still looks good or I'm busy do some other maintenance, it can be 1-3months.

 

[Rbishop]

It can be longer that every other week, but not normally.

I usually take it apart and wash floss and sponge every other week.

 

[msjinkzd]

it seems to end up being about every other week, but its whenever i notice any reduced flow.

 

[Polish]

Thus far it's been every couple weeks, because I'll notice it's not flowing as much as it should.

Since I can see the filter cartridge, I clean it when it looks dirty to me. Sometimes monthly sometimes more/less often.

 

[The Zigman]

When it gets plugged, I clean it..

Not plugged, not cleaning it...

 

[Sploke]

I use mine for purely bio filtration, so they don't lose flow very quickly...I've let mine go 4-6 months on occasion.

I'll cleen it when it clogs, on my DIY filter it was a week to 4, now with my magnum, I dunno, clean it when it clogs really.
